Hyssop Essential Oil

Our Hyssop Essential Oil is steam-distilled from the vibrant, deep purple flowers of the Hyssopus officinalis var. decumbens plant, which thrives in the rocky hillsides of Spain. Native to Southern Europe, Hyssop has been used for over a thousand years for its powerful antiseptic, disinfecting, and anti-infectious properties.

A perennial evergreen shrub, Hyssop grows in Southern Europe, the Middle East, and around the Caspian Sea. The plant features a woody stem, lance-shaped leaves, and striking purplish-blue flowers. It is important to note that Hyssopus officinalis var. decumbens should not be confused with other Hyssop oils, particularly Hyssopus officinalis, which has a higher ketone content (specifically Pinocamphone). Hyssopus officinalis var. decumbens is a gentler, specialty oil, ideal for a wide range of aromatherapy uses due to its lower ketone levels, making it suitable for most applications.
